wifi: mac80211_hwsim: move timestamp writing later in the datapath

Browse source

By delegating writing the timestamp into beacons and probe responses, we
can remove the abs_bcn_ts from the global data and still avoid any time
offset issues. This also seems conceptually closer to "real" hardware
where the timestamp will be written late in the TX path.

Move sending the SKB to the monitor interface to happen later, so that
the frame timestamp has the value filled in by mac80211_hwsim.
